Lyrics

When I take you in my arms and I look into your eyes, can you see me?
When I breathe upon your hair and I whisper in your ear, can you hear me?
When I kiss you on the cheek as I'm rocking you to sleep, can you feel me, my son?

When I look upon you so and I try to make you smile, do you know me?
When you're crying and in pain and I try to bring relief, do you even need me?
When I hold you and I stare, do you understand my tears and do you love me, my son?

This song will tell you
This song will show you
How much I love you, my son

When it seems I have no time, it's because I must provide for you
And i must be patient, 'cause I know that I'm obliged to do right by you
Oh my son, I'd give my life for you, my son

Our lives are as they are, there'll be times when I am far, but I'm always with you
When you lose your way, don't you hesitate, let me help you
One day, will you stand before my grave and say, "Dad, I was proud to be your son."

This song will tell you
This song will show you
How much I love you, my son
